SDRT provides holistic academic support through one-on-one tutoring, enrichment activities and mentorship to students of refugee background in City Heights.
SDRT is headquartered in the City Heights neighborhood of San Diego and currently meets on a weekly basis while school is in session. We meet in person on Tuesday and Thursday late afternoons/early evenings. We also facilitate off-campus field trips & extracurricular activities, and support our students with their essential needs.
TUTORS work 1:1 with students of refugee background to help them with foundational English and math skills. Tutors also spend time reading with our students and playing educational games together. Returning tutors are encouraged to work with the same students for consistency.
WHO WE SUPPORT
San Diego Refugee Tutoring works with students of refugee background mostly from Ibarra Elementary and their siblings (preschool, middle school and high school). As our students grow and move up through the grades, we continue to support them along their academic journeys. Our students have lived in the United States anywhere from one month to 10+ years. They are Burmese/Karen/Karenni, Burundian, DR Congolese, Somali, Sudanese, Central African, Syrian, Haitian, and Afghans. Most of our students speak several languages other than English.
